Re: Some things I want out of a language

#1 Something I can use to create programs with that doesn't run in a VM that bogs it down or use an Interpriter or whatever. I want something that runs fast.

Sounds like premature optimization to me. You don't even know WTF you are going to write yet. Why worry about performance?

#7 It has to be virtually free, I cannot afford much. Even the $10USD Visual Studio.Net trial CD got my wife mad at me.

Have you even received that CD yet? Isn't you wife going to be even more mad if you blew that money without putting it to use?

I think you need to focus. Did you ever get Windows 2000 or XP running so you could use VS.NET? And now you want to wipe your machine and install Linux?

Focus.

Focus

I got more than one machine.

The Windows 98SE machine can be wiped to run Linux.

I have XP Pro on that $400USD Computer with the Athlon XP2000+ CPU and 512M of RAM, I also have XP Pro on my Compaq Presario 2500 laptop. I just got the VS.NET CD yesterday and haven't had a chance to install it yet. Been too busy with studying for college, family matters, etc. Today we go to the Transportation Museum, tomorrow I fix a relative's PC whose antivirus subscription expired last year and has a daughter who runs Kazaa. Monday I have class to go to. My paper has been written, and I read most of the E-Text section for the class. So my time management doesn't allow for software installs yet.
